Bhutan Snowman Trek
Introduction
Bhutan Snowman Trek is the most challenging mountain trek in Bhutan undertaken by many trekkers every season and allowed access to Lunana, a remote region of Bhutan. This trek crosses 11 different high mountain passes of more than 4,500m to define the borders of Tibet and Bhutan.
The trek highlights the views of Jichu Drake and Chomolhari by following trails via encampments of yak herders and isolated farm settlements while we prepare to trek to Lunana. Amid a consistent backdrop of 7000m height mountain peaks, we identify a region of tiny monasteries of Buddhism religion and scheduled villages, which remain isolated from the remaining areas of Bhutan for many months in a year.
